I’ve
been dating a wonderful guy for four months. He’s 41, I’m
37. We enjoy each other’s company immensely; we laugh a lot
and he fucks like a champ—definitely a keeper. The issues
I have with him are manageable, but I don’t know how to broach
these subjects: He has a dental bridge that looks like it’s
in serious need of a change. He also uses his floor as his
closet and his apartment isn’t always tidy. I’m not sure if
I’m being judgmental and superficial. I think he’d be even
finer than he is if he fixed his teeth and cleaned his house.
How do I bring this up without offending him? Should I bring
it up? Thanks.
—Just
That Into Him
Go ahead and bring up the bridge right away, JTIH, as he’s
probably not all that sensitive about it. More like he, like
so many straight men, is just a little oblivious to his personal
appearance. And as to the condition of his apartment—the mess,
the clothes all over the floor—have you considered picking
up after him? Not now, of course, at four months. You’re still
just dating. But if this gets serious and you move in with
him, JTIH, you can solve his cleanliness issues by, you know,
cleaning for him.
Shhh. Do you hear that rumbling sound? That’s a million angry
women and 25 feminist men pounding out angry e-mails to me.
“It was extraordinarily sexist of you to suggest that this
woman clean up after this man,” tap tap tap, blah blah blah.
“I had to check the cover of the paper to make sure I wasn’t
reading Christianity Today! For shame, Mr. Savage!”
I may be extraordinarily sexist, but suggesting that one half
of a couple take the lead on housekeeping isn’t conclusive
proof. This is because my comments aren’t motivated by misogyny,
but by my own personal experience in long-term relationships—and
none of my LTRs have involved any “gyny” for me to “miso”
on. Take, for example, my current LTR. My boyfriend does my
laundry, shops for me, and cooks for me. I don’t expect him
to do these things for me because he’s a woman. He’s not a
woman—he’s got an absolutely ginormous cock. He does these
things because he’s good at them, while I’m bad at them—and
he actually seems to like taking care of me. I like taking
care of him, too: I move things, kill things, and pay for
things.
So if my ginormous-cock-having boyfriend can pick up after
me, JTIH, I wonder why lovely-vagina-having you can’t pick
up after your guy? I mean, think about it: If things work
out and you fall in love and you move in and get married or
whatever, what are you signing up for? The both of you? To
take care of each other, right? Well, he clearly needs someone
to take care of making dentist appointments and straightening
up. What do you need? How will he—how does he—take care of
you? Does he cook? Does he fix your car? Does he do your taxes?
Does he knit you sweaters? If there’s some semblance of balance,
if there’s cheerful reciprocity, then why not do his damn
laundry?

I’m a GGG woman and I’m fat. I don’t have a problem
with my fatness and neither do the guys I have been with.
However, I do have a problem with this: I can find tons of
men who want to fuck me, but none who want to date me. All
the boys I find are willing to worship me in the confines
of the boudoir, but out in public they act like they don’t
want to be seen with me. I’m not even asking for PDA—I generally
dislike PDA—but hanging out and occasionally going out after
sexing it up would be grand. Are all fat-girl-loving guys
pussies?
—No
More Dater Haters
Not
all, NMDH, but almost all of the young ones.
Until about, oh, age 30 or so, most men aren’t secure enough
in their own sexualities—and I’m talking about 100-percent
heterosexual guys here—to do or say anything that might out
themselves to their friends as anything other than “normal.”
Guys who wanna wear panties or tie up girls or get pissed
on can pursue their kinks without having to reveal anything
about their sexuality to their friends. So long as they date
girls who are either completely discreet or just as fearful
of exposure, their secrets are safe. But a guy into fat women
isn’t so lucky—if he’s seen with you in public, NMDH, he’s
going to have some explaining to do.
This completely pansy-assed fear of not being perceived as
“normal” results in many straight men dating, and in some
tragic instances marrying, women their friends find attractive—or
so they assume—and not women they themselves find attractive.
But there’s only so long a man can go on boning Nicole Richie
when what he really wants is to bone someone your size. Eventually
these guys come to the realization that a lifetime of sexual
frustration is a high price to pay for “normal” cred.
The thing you missed about Jason Fortuny’s Craigslist
experiment was that he was posting as a submissive woman.
It doesn’t take a load of kinkiness to be turned on by that.
What straight male doesn’t fantasize about having a sexy female
slave? In other words, Fortuny wasn’t against people with
fetishes, he was against males with such a banal, straightforward
fetish. He was baiting the natural chauvinist tendencies in
his fellow males.

B.
Wow—was
I wrong! Jason Fortuny isn’t a shit-smeared asshole that invaded
the privacy and potentially ruined the lives of dozens of
men. No! Jason Fortuny is the Fantasy Thought Police, to say
nothing of fantasy judge, jury, and executioner. And now that
Officer Fortuny has made an example of men into submissive
women (so banal!), he can move on to punishing women with
rape fantasies (so common!), fags into cops and firemen (so
cliché!), and lesbians into, er, whatever it is that kinky
lesbians are into (so squishy!).
Sorry, PB, I’m not buying it. Not all men into BDSM—even as
tops—are chauvinist pigs. There are tons of misogynist males
out there into strictly vanilla sex. (Don’t believe me? Ask
a female friend—if you have one.) There’s no rhyme or reason
to most people’s fantasies; there are submissive male misogynists,
cracker racists—male and female—into black cock, and desperately
homophobic pole smokers.
There’s just no excuse for Fortuny’s actions—none whatsoever.
I’m a 30-something gay male that’s attracted to married men.
I haven’t acted on my desires due to the fact that willing
married men are so hard to find and, really, how do you approach
one? I am seeking your personal expertise. Where do you find
married men who want to experience a little of the “other”
side?
—Want
Married Dick
Hmm.
I have no experience with married dick—not the straight variety,
anyway—so my “personal expertise” in this instance is limited.
But I understand that a website called Craigslist is absolutely
crawling with married men hunting for cock. Some of these
married men, I’m told, are straight. So go for it, WMD, but
be careful out there—you never know when Officer Fortuny is
going to be conducting one of his “stings” on banal fantasies,
and yours is about as banal as gay fantasies get.
